Chris Kirk held off Sahith Theegala and Jordan Spieth to win the first PGA Tour event of the season with victory at The Sentry in Hawaii.
Kirk completed a dream start to 2024 by converting his one-shot lead heading into Sunday at Kapalua with an eight-under final round 65, with pivotal birdies on 15 and 17 sealing the win.
The American made just one bogey all week in what was the lowest tournament scoring average (66.67) since PGA Tour records began.
He banks a huge $3.6million winner’s cheque in the first of eight Signature Events with elevated purses on the PGA Tour in 2024.

• Viktor Hovland in shock split ahead of 2024 season
“It is so unreal,” Kirk said. “It’s just so unexpected. I had a really great off-season and I got a lot of good work done and felt good about the year, but you never really expect to go shoot 29-under. Yeah, it’s unbelievable.”
Meanwhile, the low scoring in serene conditions in Kapalua meant that a cumulative total of 20-under-par was only good enough for T25 in the limited field.
Here’s what each player earned in the full prize money breakdown of The Sentry…
